Alongside the seasonings, the shop brings together auxiliary ingredients for charcuterie and savoury baking: breadcrumbs and rusks, glazes, coaters and meat rubs, herbs and spices, dried fruit and vegetables, and stuffing mixes. Preparations for making kebabs, pork pie, black pudding and haggis are also added.
